Of course, Zende later realized the truth about Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) condition and let that anger fade.

RJ’s sudden designer push made more sense once Zende realized he was trying to help Eric before it was too late.

In other words, Zende doesn’t seem like he’s on a mission to steal the woman in RJ’s life anymore.

That said, it could happen anyway – especially now that this storyline with Eric is creating opportunities for comfort and connection.

B&B spoilers say Zende will need someone to lean on, so Luna will do her best to console him.

Fans will see Luna put a hand on Zende’s shoulder at the design office and lock eyes with him in a powerful moment.

That could give RJ a chance to spy the growing bond between Luna and Zende if he walks in on them together.

It could spark some jealousy and make RJ worry about what’s in store.

Then again, RJ might be too distracted by Eric’s ordeal to notice the trouble that’s brewing.

It could be a situation where RJ doesn’t fully grasp that he’s losing Luna until he’s already lost her!

Will this lead to Luna cheating on RJ? Could Luna kiss Zende or even hit the sheets with him down the road?

Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) is always ranting about how Luna is just like her mother, Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park), who certainly had affairs and stirred up controversy.

As far as Li’s concerned, Luna is the same type of woman and will only cause pain in the end.

Li could be proven right on some level if Luna indeed hurts RJ by surrendering to new desires for Zende.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Luna and Zende will strengthen their connection during the week of December 18-22 and beyond, so stick with us for updates on any major romantic news.
